4th of July Fireworks Blog Hop - Day 2

Welcome back - I hope you are enjoying the blog hop so far. Monique offered to design a little pattern that utilizes her super cool Fit to be Quarter ruler, a pattern that I could make and also give away on my blog. If you would like Monique's pattern, click this link Download 4thofjulyflag.

I think I may have squealed when I saw how cute this flag is. I dove right into my Prairie Paisley stash to make this flag. Although it's too late for Independence Day, wouldn't it be perfect to show your patriotic pride year round? Or as my friend Julie suggested, they would make cute placemats.

Monique has given me one Fit to be Quarter ruler to give away during this blog hop. I'm going to go one step further and give my winner a kit to make this flag quilt. The same fabrics I used to make mine - backing and binding included. Everything you need except the batting and thread. Please comment before midnight on Friday, July 8 and I will draw a winner on Saturday morning, July 9.

I really like the reds in your little quilt. Are they from a certain line of fabric or just what you had in your stash? They would make great placemats - if you could make yourself eat off them. I'm too clumsy to be trusted myself.

I LOVE your little flag quilt! Placemats are a great idea or it would just be cute as a wall hanging. My Mom loves lemon - I will have to pass your recipe on to her - sounds yummy. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

The flag quilt is so adorable!! Can't wait to make it!! The fabrics you used are perfect, and so pretty!! The recipe sounds so good, too!! Thanks so much, and Thanks for the opportunity!! I love these blog hops!!

I love everything with red, white, and blue and the patterns is so cute. I have my dining room decorated Americana style all year long and this would work so well in there. Thanks for the giveaway I have my fingers crossed.

Just started quilting, a great therapy for break from studying. I love this blog. Patterns and recipes what else could a quilter ask for. Your right, this cute little patriotic flag can be shown all year round, very Americana. Thank you

What a sweet little flag. Thanks so much for the pattern. The fabrics you used look awesome. That Lemony Icebox Pie sounds sooooo yummy. Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway. I'm having fun following all the blogs on this hop.

Love the flag quilt!! I'd like to make one (or 2) to use as placemats or for the center of my table. Just thought of another use-for my now blank wall in my office at work! Would be a great way to perk up a dull office. Thanks for the give away--would love to be a winner!! :-)

Placemats? You mean you would let people spill food on these placemats? No way!! I'm going to pull fabric from my stash right now! How cute to hang as a mini quilt from Memorial Day through Labor Day or even ALL year! Thanks for the pattern AND the recipe! Yummy and light!!
